Planning Style

Plan Skill

Produce an implementation plan with a functional-leaning, idiomatic style mindset; prefers lightweight data structures over dataclasses/pydantic unless justified.

STYLE MINDSET (REQUIRED): Load the fp-idiomatic-style and coding-style skills via eca__skill before writing the plan. Apply it as a design constraint (architecture and data flow), not as code-generation.

STRUCTURAL CONTEXT (REQUIRED for languages Chiasmus supports): files = absolute paths from a shell find (no globs), scoped to the packages involved; pass cache=true.

• Run chiasmus_map (mode overview) if the repo is not mapped this session.
• Run chiasmus_graph analysis="impact" target=<fn> for each function the plan changes or removes.
• For a signature change or rename, add eca__editor_references for the exact usage list. If the two disagree, the name is ambiguous and the Chiasmus chain is approximate.

PLANNING OUTPUT: The plan should include:

• Goal and non-goals
• Proposed functions/modules to add or change (names + responsibilities)
• Blast radius: callers affected by each change, from the impact results
• Data flow: inputs → transformations → outputs (prefer pure-ish functions and minimal shared mutation)
• Data representations according to the required style mindset
• Edge cases and validation strategy (only if needed)
• Testing approach (what to test, not full test code)

RULES:

• The Plan itself should be written in a very concise way.
• The Plan should keep things simple and be easy to read.
• Prefer small composable functions over large stateful classes.
• Prefer explicit return values over hidden side effects.
• Do not propose new dataclasses/pydantic schemas unless there is a concrete need (validation, invariants, long-lived domain objects).
• Keep it idiomatic for the language in this repo (Pythonic if Python, etc.).
